Socio-economic Lecture

On Saturday, April 18th, 2009 IDC is bringing Rachel Rybaczuk to address the community on matters regarding socio-economic diversity.  She is currently a professor at UMass Amherst, teaching a class on socioeconomics in higher education. As a graduate student (also at UMass) she was a part of the Roosevelt Institute. Her personal experience of coming from a low income background, struck her particularly as an undergraduate student, and is part of what drew her to this issue; along with later experience in admissions, which gives her a particularly intimate knowledge of the intersection between class and campus dynamics.  Rachel is also a well published author on the subject.  Hope to see you all on April 18th, in McCullough!
